thats to run low tho , but really you will need to as these will look silly otherwise, to be far tho any wheels you get you'll have to upgrade suspension etc and for any reall descent wheel adaptors/spacers will be needed,
give me a shout if you go ahead and get stuck
as the good sir mentioned, most of my mods were so that i can drive as low as possible (and also to slam it when parked as close to laying frame)
but you could fit them on to the car with just the wheels, tyres and adaptors. but as these are 19" with lower profile tyres, it's essential to make it look right as the wheels look quite big against the car. so lowering is essential in this case.
thats where you'd probs need the uprated ARB, then the front arch rolled, and camber shims. If you still want to go lower, chassis notch and even lower still, steel sump and engine spacers
you defo dont have to do everything all in one go, i did all those things over a period of nearly two years
a few more pics to keep it going, the first batch of pics, ive got
no camber shims or shorter top mounts with 225/35 and 215/35/19's. you'll see that its sits quite nice (yes im on air) ubt also when im rolling
